OSRAM Launches LIGHTIFY Connected Lighting Solution

The OSRAM LIGHTIFY lighting system begins with a cable-free Gateway that can be plugged into a standard wall outlet anywhere in a home or business, and wirelessly syncs with the existing WiFi network. The Gateway connects to LIGHTIFY devices (up to 50 per each Gateway) via standard ZigBee Home Automation protocols.

Initial products include an A19 Tunable White 60W replacement LED lamp which delivers over 800 lumens and has an adjustable color temperature, meaning that it can be adjusted from a warm 2700 Kelvin Color Temperature up to a 6500 Kelvin cool white color level at any dimness level. Also available will be an A19 60W replacement RGBW LED lamp which can provide up to 16 million colors to match a scene or mood, and also has tunable white functionality.

In addition, there are flexible, color changing, indoor LED light strips and garden-spot LED lights for highlighting outdoor features with color. The Gateway can also operate other smart lighting devices from a variety of manufacturers that use standard ZigBee Home Automation protocols.

The free, user-friendly LIGHTIFY App, which runs on Apple iOS7 or above and Android 4.1 or above, offers a variety of practical and playful options to control the lighting system and is simple to use, convenient and secure.

The LIGHTIFY system can be up and running in 3 quick and simple steps. The first step is to create a LIGHTIFY account and register and scan the Gateway using the smart device. The second step is to sync the Gateway with the local wireless network, and the final step is to power on the light sources in order to pair them to the Gateway. The app will then offer the user various functions such as choosing colors, setting personal lighting scenes, or pre-setting various schedule-based lighting features at any time from any place in the world.
